The Amino Analytical Framework - Leveraging Accumulo to the Fullest

Amino is an open source analytical framework that focuses on a “building-blocks” approach to data discovery by pre-computing features about data at the most granular level possible and then allows analysts and data scientists to easily combine those features into more complex questions.

The magic behind Amino is found in it’s custom Accumulo index; that index strives to provide fast scans, highly dimensional scans, data compression, and a simple query structure. The index leverages Accumulo iterators to do much of the scan time logic which has no limit on dimensionality of the query. Iterators are what makes Accumulo unique and enables the Amino index to execute the complex queries.
